Fog squashed the topwater bite today...but still had a good day with 3 limits of hybs/striper to 8lbs with some big sandies thrown in. Then I decided to try an old big fish spot that hasn't produced in over 2 years. As soon as we dropped the jigs down one gets smashed! This beast starts peeling off line and staying down. When she finally came up this big comes to net...


She was hooked in the gills so she'll make for some fine eating.

Since they didn't come up today I bet they will make up for it tomorrow.

That's got to be a twelve lb + fish. Good looking fish and one happy fisherman on the right side of the pole.

Nice Trent!! I saw you're customers bringing in fish. Too bad nothing would look at my jig. I'm still trying to figure this deadstick thing out.

That fog was INSANE yestrday morning. I was a bit puckered for an hour or two out there. I could hear boats around me but couldn't see a thing!

luv to fish. If u haven't, I recommend a trip with Trent. He is a master of fine tuning the art of dead sticking. I used his techniques and similar jig heads on Fri at Lake Bport. tore up the mag sandies and netted 6 hybrids to 4.5 lbs. no monsters but the technique was similar.

Yea that fog was eery. Not a good idea to get on plane in that. Too dangerous.

Check out this "would be" 45 lb lake record Buffalo that Kidstriper landed recently...


The girth of that fish was more than his.

Matt dba Kidstriper, will never b the same. He statesd that the pull from that fish was pure adrenalin Matt would pull not able to reel and the fish pulled harder and longer. One helluva fish.

that is one huge fish

I had to chase that fish with the trolling motor to keep it from going to far under and behind the boat. I thought it was a giant catfish. Epic freshwater battle!

That's a beast!

Good googly, thats an ugly beast! I caught a 30# a few weeks ago with Jackson Bean, what a mess..... TallBald caught one a couple years ago on Twok that bottomed out my 50# Grips! Yikes! They do fight like a mule!

Yep that 45lber was caught the day after JacksonBean's trip.

OH MY !!!!!!!Trent ain't nutting safe around you!!!!!!hope to see ya soon !!how's the boat doing lately ?
